Hundreds of people attended and went away,
smiling, maybe a touch bemused by such a vast array of carroty things. The kids were delighted with the activities,
which included making key rings, bookmarks, finger puppets, paper craft, colouring in, quizzes, word searches and crossword
puzzles.

Mr Carrot (John in his carrot suit) made
several appearances and wandered the grounds to promote the event.

Here are some more photos taken during the three day
event.

Some of the beautiful face and arm paintings

Food and packaging

More Unusual items!

The Resident Artist, Elizabeth, created unique carrot faces and
arm paintings and displayed examples of her craft work together with
active demonstrations.

Seed Packets

A large
display stand displayed all the different varieties of carrot seed available, kindly donated
by the major seed suppliers.

A new location at Harlow Carr Gardens for Carrot Museum Collection at the Taste of Autumn show, in the large greenhouse which
normally houses the succulent displays. With the new accommodation came the
opportunity to change the displays and layout, focussing more on the Museum
exhibits and a more eye catching information display.

A few photos tell the story. Mr Carrot also makes an appearance -

Face painting for all, including the staff!

Lots of activities for the kids, some of whom left their
art work in the standing display for the duration of the event.

Next door in the marquee, kids were given the chance
to create original vegetable art
